Anti-fascists
rallied to hear Labour leaders and anti-racist campaigners call for a new
movement to roll back the rise of the far right at a conference last weekend. Over
1,400 activists, including representatives from similar movements in Europe,
Brazil and Canada, took part in the day-long meeting at the Quakers’ Friends
Meeting House in London’s Euston Road.
The conference, organised by the Unite
Against Fascism movement and the Stand Up to Racism campaign, was supported by
activists from all over the country. Labour was well represented with two
leading members of the Corbyn team, John McDonnell and Diane Abbott, giving
key-note interventions during the discussions on how we can defeat the rise of
fascism and racism.
At the close of conference a racist
‘football lads’ gang tried to barge their way into the building but the robust
response of the stewards speedily dealt with the degenerates who beat a hasty
retreat.
